What Is Long Service Leave in NSW?

In New South Wales, employees who work for the same employer for at least 10 years are entitled to long service leave, typically 2 months (8.67 weeks) initially with additional leave for longer service. This leave is paid at the employee's regular rate and includes full-time, part-time, and casual employees. Special rules apply to employees in building and construction or cleaning industries. Upon termination after at least 10 years (or 5 years in some cases), any accrued long service leave must be paid out to the employee.
